Hello All,
Question: Why do you not use an anti-executable - such as AppGuard, NoVirusThanks Exe Radar Pro or VooDooShield ?
In the face of a never-ending onslaught of new malwares, antivirus vendors cannot generate signatures fast enough. Consequently, users get infected. We all know the signature-only based protection model has been obsolete for many years now...
One tactic that effectively reduces over-reliance on signatures is to create a default-deny system - whereby the user "white-lists" (Allows) legitimate applications on their system and "black-lists" (Blocks) everything else. This is accomplished by using an anti-executable (AE).
All the AE vendors are addressing issues with their user-interfaces, fixing problems with software\Windows updates, adding features, etc. Current versions are vastly improved from those from a few years ago. However, anti-executables remain vastly under-utilized and seem to be generally ignored...
Let's see what the perception of AEs actually is versus reality. Vote !
